The Record (
New security measures at Cohoes City Hall take effect Monday
By Danielle Sanzone
Saturday, May 4, 2013
COHOES -- Along with ongoing improvements to make Cohoes City Hall handicap accessible, the building will have a security checkpoint for all visitors starting on Monday.
"We want to make sure that all of the people who come to our city hall know they are walking into a secure building," said Acting Mayor George Primeau about the hundreds of visitors to the Police Department, court, and other city departments at the 97 Mohawk St. building.
Starting Monday, anyone planning to go inside the Cohoes City Hall will pass through a metal detector and their items will go through a security scanner.
In order to accomplish this, the equipment -- originally only used for court -- will now be used for the entire building. The security station will be manned by two court guards on Tuesdays and Fridays, and four court guards on court days, including Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
There will be one way into the building, the Mohawk Street entrance, and one way out.
The extra measures will only be taken during regular business hours and will not affect visitors going to the regular Council, Planning Board, and Zoning Board meetings, Primeau explained.
"With everything that goes on in today's world, you want to make sure you are secure," he said.
This is a plan that Primeau said he has been working on since he took office in January.
While there was no direct impetus, he did refer to an incident in December when a person walked into the mayor's office and scared the two secretaries of former Mayor John McDonald. And, as recently as Friday, there was an odd incident across the street at the First Niagara Bank in which a man was making the bank employees feel uncomfortable, he said.
"We can't leave this building wide open," Primeau stated, also remembering a 1974 incident in which a man randomly killed a mailman on the street then went into the City Hall and shot two people. The man was arrested. Primeau added, "It can happen. Randomly."
The number of visitors at City Hall ebbs and flows depending on the day and time of year. Currently, for example, many residents are visiting the 1896 municipal building with questions about their property assessments.
This upgraded security protocol is being done as the building is being made handicap accessible. The Ontario Street entrance has been closed as a lift is put in. That is expected to be complete by July.

Discover Cynthia's
Cynthia's is a collection of lodging options located in a remote part of the California Mojave Desert near Death Valley National Park. Yet it is just 90 minutes from Las Vegas and 3 hours from downtown Los Angeles. It is without cell phone connection, high speed internet, crime, stress, social pressures. It has dark night skies and perfect quiet. It is a place where we make room for wildlife, walk on the Old Spanish Trail, follow ancient Indian footpaths, hike to a waterfall on a rare protected desert river. If you think that you want to immerse yourself in such a place and see what happens, I will do my best to share all the secrets and special places that I have discovered in my time here.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Customers at a New York City KFC hoping to redeem coupons for a free meal were disgruntled when the fast-food restaurant ran out of its new grilled chicken, but Internet rumors of a riot were unfounded, a Kentucky Fried Chicken spokeswoman said Wednesday.
"Some customers were upset because they couldn't get their chicken, but there was no riot," said Laurie Schalow.
Schalow said the Manhattan restaurant on East 42nd Street plans to begin honoring the coupons again Thursday after it resupplies the kitchen.
The coupons were available on Oprah.com for 24 hours beginning Tuesday after Oprah announced the meal promotion on her show. Each downloadable coupon can be redeemed for two pieces of grilled chicken, two individual sides and a biscuit.
KFC, owned by Louisville, Ky.-based Yum Brands Inc., introduced its new Kentucky Grilled Chicken about three weeks ago. The new menu item is being touted as lower in fat, calories and sodium than the traditional deep-fried chicken for which KFC is known the world over. It even has its own secret recipe, kept under lock and key near the original 11 herbs and spices recipe for fried chicken created by KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders.
Schalow said the grilled chicken has been a huge success, and the combination of a bad economy and Oprah's popularity created a "perfect storm."
"We prepared for it," Schalow said, noting that a KFC restaurant can only serve so many people during the lunch and dinner hours. "We didn't prepare for this extreme."
But Schalow said customers have until May 19th to redeem their coupons, Mother's Day excluded, and she encouraged the public to return later.
A spokeswoman for Oprah's Harpo Productions in Chicago said they are not aware of any problems with the coupons.
Schalow said KFC restaurants across the United States were bustling on Wednesday because of the coupon offer.
"A lot of restaurants experienced very, very heavy traffic with people trying to redeem the coupons." she said, though KFC headquarters did not hear of any other problems with customers other than the those at the New York City franchise. "All stores are very busy today, very long lines, that's what we're hearing."
Schalow said some KFC stores may have run out of some products, such as mashed potatoes and gravy or cole slaw, "but they are substituting as best they can."

Life cycle costing: theory, information acquisition and application
Woodward, David G. (1997) Life cycle costing: theory, information acquisition and application. International Journal of Project Management, 15, (6), 335-344. (doi:10.1016/S0263-7863(96)00089-0).
Full text not available from this repository.
Especially in the last two decades of an increasingly-competitive business environment, dwindling resources and an ever-increasing need to obtain value for money in all areas of corporate activity, it has become essential that all available resources be used optimally (Griffith, J. W. and Keely, B. J., Cost Engineering, 1978, September/October, 165–168). Physical assets form the basic infrastructure of all businesses and their effective management is essential to overall success. It has thus become essential to plan and monitor assets throughout their entire life cycle, from the development/procurement stage through to eventual disposal. Life cycle costing* is concerned with optimising value for money in the ownership of physical assets by taking into consideration all the cost factors relating to the asset during its operational life. Optimising the trade-off between those cost factors will give the minimum life cycle cost of the asset. This process involves estimation of costs on a whole life basis before making a choice to purchase an asset from the various alternatives available. Life cycle cost of an asset can, very often, be many times the initial purchase or investment cost (Hart, J. M. S., Tetrotechnology Handbook, p. 22, HMSO, London, 1978; Hysom, J. L., Journal of Property Management, 1979, 44, 332–337). It is important that management should realise the source and magnitude of lifetime costs so that effective action can subsequently be taken to control them. This approach to decision making encourages a long-term outlook to the investment decision-making process rather than attempting to save money in the short term by buying assets simply with lower initial acquisition cost. It is suggested project managers should familiarise themselves with what the approach involves, to better appreciate how they might then contribute to the enhanced quality decision making which it makes possible.

A Taste of Welcoming Bedfordshire
The Knife and Cleaver • Bedfordshire, United Kingdom
Escape Kit
- One- (£80) or Two-Night (£125) Stay for Two People
- Daily Breakfast
- Three-Course Lunch Each on Day One
- Bottle of House Wine If Dining in the Evening
- Early Check-in and Late Checkout
The Bedfordshire Clanger is a classic dish comprised of a meaty savoury filling at one end and a sweet treat at the other—hearty and indulgent in equal. A bit like this Escape to the Knife and Cleaver, where you can take a bite of the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside.
An overnight stay for two people is just £80 (up to a £162 value), or make it a two-night stay for £125 (up to a £247 value). Set in the pretty village of Houghton Conquest, south of Bedford, you can check-in early to your standard King or Twin accommodation to settle in; a late checkout of midday is also included.
Whether you're a savoury kind of person or prefer to indulge a sweet tooth, a three-course lunch included in the dining room is sure to satisfy—sample the likes of chicken and leek pie and apricot and peach crumble, or if staying on a Sunday night, a three-course Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Breakfast each morning of your stay is also included, and if returning to dine in the evening, you'll receive a bottle of house wine to accompany the cuisine.
Once you've sated your appetite for Bedfordshire grub, take your fill of intrigue and beauty in the local area. Bletchley Park is the historic site where code breakers cracked the enigma code, and still houses a number of machines; Woburn Abbey, on the other hand, is remarkable of its 28 acres of beautifully manicured gardens.
This Escape is for two people, and is valid from Sunday to Thursday. Arrivals on a Friday or Saturday will incur a £10 supplement, payable directly to the hotel. Got a question? Contact our Travel Concierge on email@example.com.

Mobile POS: The good, the bad and the ugly
NFC, POS, EMV, RFID. This may look like alphabet soup to some, but if you work in retail, you know what these acronyms represent - a host of technologies (some new, some not so new) in the retail space. As an increasing number of retailers experiment leveraging each of these, seamless customer experience is sure to grow - and as Joe LaRocca, NRF's Senior Asset Protection Advisor warned, many inherent risks will follow.
In Wednesday's LP '12 closing keynote, LaRocca detailed what these emerging technologies mean for retail – and more importantly, what threats exist when each are implemented. Watch below as LaRocca shares his thoughts on one sliver of the equation: mobile POS and e-receipts.

The American Optometric Association is the acknowledged leader and recognized authority for eye and vision care in the world.
Soft contact lenses are the most widely prescribed contact lenses in the United States today. They boast immediate and long term comfort for the wearer and they provide excellent vision for the myopic and hyperopic patient. What about patients with astigmatism? Can they also enjoy the benefits of a soft contact lens? Of course they can! Soft toric contact lenses also provide excellent vision and comfort; and today's soft toric contact lenses have a high degree of accuracy and reproducibility. But even with this, they are not used as often as they should or could be. There remains a mysterious air about toric contact lenses that finds them under utilized by today's practitioners. It also means astigmatic patients aren't enjoying the same visual excellence that other soft contact lens wearers enjoy. Join us for Soft Toric Contact Lenses and let us help to take away some of the mystery of soft toric contact lenses.

EDIT (2013-07-11): The following article may or may not been accurate anymore since it's been more than a year. I recommend running your own benchmarks on array expressions with the latest Julia builds and draw your own conclusions.
I apologize in advance for writing what might be the first neutral to negative article about Julia that you've read. For those of you who don't know, Julia is a new dynamic language with an LLVM-based JIT compiler designed for technical computing. It's intent is to try to bridge the gap between high level languages and low level ones in terms of giving you the power, flexibility, and general-purpose usefulness of a Lisp or Python-like language but with low-level performance. It has MATLAB-like syntax but has a lot of the features of Lisp (macros, metaprogramming) and Python that we've all come to love. Before anything else, I'd like to say that I'm very impressed with the project, the team, and overall their technology choices.
Many people are very excited about Julia, and one of the main reasons is because of a number of very impressive benchmarks. This is great and I'm also impressed with the benchmarks, but they are in my opinion fairly misleading and don't represent the reality of a lot of technical computing.
I compiled Julia in advance of Stefan Karpinski's (one of the creators) talk in New York this week. I ran a few benchmarks and then proceeded to raise hell on the Julia mailing list.
TL;DR: if you're an R, MATLAB, or scientific Python user, it's probably not time to start programming in Julia if the highest performance code is your goal for minimum effort. It may be in a couple of years when the JIT-compiler improves. However, Julia may soon be a reasonable free computational alternative to MATLAB. I say this even in a perfect world where Julia had all the libraries that Python and R have; as far as a sole language for building large scientific production applications in industry right now, I think Python + Cython are pretty much the only game in town.
Why am I complaining about the benchmarks? Well, one of the first things I did was look at the performance of array operations. In scientific and technical computing, we work a lot with arrays, right? In fact, convention wisdom is "don't write loops". Many people have told me that I should be unrolling array operations into loops and my experience is that this is the way to get the best performance. Keep in mind that I am a performance-obsessed tool maker, and in libraries like pandas I am in control of the vast majority of the areas of people's applications that would otherwise be bottlenecks.
Here's a simple benchmark: compute the inner product of two arrays, in other words, the sum of the element-wise product. Julia code (I disabled the garbage collector to remove its effect from the equation):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
x = randn(10000000) y = randn(10000000) function inner(x, y) result = 0.0 for i=1:length(x) result += x[i] * y[i] end result end gc_disable() tic() for i=1:50 result = sum(x .* y); end timing = toc(); println("Array operations took ", (timing / 50) * 1000, " ms") tic() timing = @time for i=1:50 result = inner(x, y); end timing = toc(); println("inner took ", (timing / 50) * 1000, " ms") |
And the result:
1 2 3 |
11:28 ~/code/repos/julia (master)$ ./julia bench.jl Array operations took 104.71534252166748 ms inner took 36.00101947784424ms |
Lastly, you might recognize that an array inner product can be expressed as a matrix operation and carried out by BLAS in Fortran:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
x = randn(1, 10000000) y = randn(10000000, 1) tic() timing = @time for i=1:50 result = x * y; end timing = toc(); println("BLAS took ", (timing / 50) * 1000, "ms") => BLAS took 50.72967529296875ms |
So most of you know me as a Python hacker. So I'll run the same array benchmark with NumPy:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
In [9]: x = randn(10000000) In [10]: y = randn(10000000) In [11]: timeit (x * y).sum() 10 loops, best of 3: 57.8 ms per loop |
OK, so NumPy is faster than Julia for array operations, temporary array and all. But how much faster can you go by eliminating temporaries like Julia's inner function? Here is Cython code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
def inner(ndarray[float64_t] x, ndarray[float64_t] y): cdef Py_ssize_t i, n = len(x) cdef float64_t result = 0 for i in range(n): result += x[i] * y[i] return result |
And the timing:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
In [1]: x = randn(10000000) y In [2]: y = randn(10000000) In [3]: from pandas._sandbox import inner In [4]: inner(x, y) Out[4]: -3117.5608515640943 In [5]: timeit inner(x, y) 100 loops, best of 3: 14.5 ms per loop |
So Julia is about 2.5 times slower than Cython in this trivial benchmark (straight C wouldn't that much faster). You can do even better by using the Intel MKL in NumPy:
1 2 |
In [7]: timeit np.dot(x, y) 100 loops, best of 3: 9.43 ms per loop |
So anyway, Julia is not a magic solution. It _is_ pretty good though, especially if you never want to have to compile code. Having to unroll array expressions into loops is still not good and I don't think it's a habit that should be encouraged. And the JIT will get better over time. The Julia devs are spending a lot of their time I believe more fruitfully on language design, libraries and features, and "big science" topics like distributed computing and parallel processing problems which I think will be very impactful. But if you're looking for a high performance alternative to R for implementing scientific algorithms with low effort, the sweet spot (at least in my opinion) between performance and fast development time is Cython. But if a perfect marriage of Python, Julia, and Cython is made, perhaps we can all have our cake and eat it too.

Falling in line with an argument I submitted recently, Bob McKenzie discussed the Los Angeles Kings' chances of landing Rick Nash – and how they might be better off going with his Columbus Blue Jackets teammate Jeff Carter.
(That's not to say that he's better, the argument revolves around the fact that he's easier to get and less expensive to employ.)
McKenzie also points out another logical possibility of renting Edmonton Oilers winger Ales Hemsky, but that would require Dean Lombardi and Steve Tambellini to really hug it out after those Bernie Madoff comments. (Not to mention the fact that the Kings would have to ignore how poorly their last deadline deal went with Edmonton, as Dustin Penner has eaten far more pancakes than he scored goals.)

Someone should just say, once and for all, whether Nash would accept a move to LA or not. We need that damn list of his.
- trbowman - Feb 23, 2012 at 2:11 AM
Serious? Going from Columbus to LA would be like….Jesus, going from hell to heaven.
If Nash were to say no to that deal, he'd need to be checked for concussion.

Dreger apparently told Hradek that the Kings are interested in Kyle Okposo. They have said Johnson is on the table for a top 6 and Garth has made numerous attempts to acquire a top 4 D. Could be interesting although Id hate to see Kyle go.

Wait, does Bob McKenzie work for NBC now, or does NBC just put its logo and adverising in front of clips from TSN now…?

The Film:
When talented Manhattan surgeon Wil (Michelle Krusiec) discovers that her 48-year-old mother Hwei (Joan Chen) is pregnant she is literally out of words. How can her quiet, often-reserved, and extremely conservative mother make such a mistake? How will the local Asian community respond to the news once everyone finds out about it? There is no time to waste…Hwei will have to find a decent man to marry and partially save the fading reputation of her family. But it seems like finding Mr. Right for Mom may not be the only problem in town. Wil has just met Viv (Lynn Chen) and is now madly in love with her. That's right…Will is gay!
Films that deal with immigrant communities and the rules according to which they exist have often been a hit-and-miss story for me. Some of them I liked quite a bit (Little Odessa) and some of them I didn't (Blood In Blood Out) but I always found it fascinating to see that different directors tend to focus on different aspects of what we perceive as the "immigrant experience". Director Alice Wu's Saving Face seems to be offering a very interesting look at the Chinese-American community and its often strict understandings about sexuality, morality, and everything that comes in between. The film certainly brings a fresh look at two different generations of Asian-Americans struggling to overcome the social stigma which their own culture has imposed on them.
Saving Face is clearly a film about perceptions, the right, the wrong, the unfortunate ones. Under the safe veil of a comedy feature which does not take itself too seriously Alice Wu's Saving Face goes deep behind the clichés your average domestically born and bred American is likely to have about Asian-American communities (in this particular case the Chinese-American community). The importance of tradition, the emphasis on preserving the mother-tongue, the inability of the older generation to accept the fact that a "normal" girl could fall in love with another girl…these are all issues that Alice Wu addresses in a uniquely subtle way.
Unfortunately for a long time the film tiptoes undecidedly between being a comedy with a twist and a more serious film asking some important questions. I absolutely loved the manner in which the story evolved yet towards the end of the film I felt a bit disappointed as it seemed to me that Saving Face decided to bet on the "safer" genre and therefore be a comedy that would appeal to as big of a crowd as possible. I thought that the film had a much bigger potential and the acting was more than convincing had Saving Face decided to explore a different direction and adopt a rather edgy look.
Regardless of how you see this film, a comedy or an honest depiction of a certain immigrant community and its struggles to adapt, Saving Face is indeed a surprisingly good film. Being Alice Wu's debut feature I am pleased to see such a mature approach to some very delicate issues that could have easily transformed this picture into a total disaster. The cultural taboos which Saving Face challenges and especially the portrayal of the love relationship between the two young Asian girls were presented with a finesse that many established Hollywood directors can only wish they had in their arsenal. I think that the future is certainly bright for Alice Wu and I look forward to her next project.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A new study says those lineups you see on television crime dramas and often used in real-life police departments are going about it all wrong.
The study released Monday by the American Judicature Society says witnesses should not look at a group of people to pick a perpetrator. Instead, they should look at individuals one-by-one with a detective who doesn't know which is the real suspect.
The study, conducted in four U.S. Police Departments, found witnesses using the sequential method were less likely to pick the innocents brought in to fill out the lineup.
The theory is that witnesses using the sequential lineup will compare each person to the perpetrator in their memory, Instead of to one another side-by-side to see which most looks like the criminal.

Daniel and his wife were lovely guests, and we'd have them back anytime. Very friendly, lovely to talk to, and great to have a beer with. Great guests.
What fantastic guests who have very quickly become friends! These guys are so relaxed and fun and easy to spend time with. I just loved having them here and enjoyed all chatting and hanging out and hearing about their adventures on each day. They are respectful and left their room and bathroom in great condition. They are welcome to come back and I will truly miss having them around. I highly recommend these guys.

Glad to find this site, good price, quick shipment, good order follow up.
I was actually overwhelmed by the combination of great price and speed of delivery. I placed my order late in teh afternoon of 12/4 after calling the dealer who said the part was $59 plus PA tax (6%) and that they didn't stock it so they'd have to order it for me. I then went online, saw the part on PartsGeek for less than 10% of the dealers price. I ordered the part (the price was ~$12 with shipping) and the package was at my doorstep when I got home form work on 12/5. I didn't pay for rush shipping, but I had the part to install while we had some mild weather on 12/6.

Great TV
8/24/2013What I really like about this tv is that my playstation 3 is synced with the tv. My tv come's on when the playstation is turned on and I can control my ps3 with my Samsung remote nice feature. The tv is nice a thin not very heavy.. I am hoping the studios will improve 3D filming and make live action films pop out more. I tried some playstation 3 games in 3d I like the idea but WoW it really makes your eyes hurt after awhile.
Peter from Alexandria VA
LOVE the TV
5/8/2012We were shopping for a replacement big screen for the family room and after much research we decided to go with the Samsung UN55D7000LFXZA. We have had 4 other Samsungs and still have 2 of their tv's and 1 computer monitor and are very pleased with them. This new one that we bought has a great bright, clear and crisp picture that makes Blu-Ray movies like Avatar jump out at you. We went with the 2011 model because of price and it still had all the features we needed and wanted.
BJ & Karen from Maricopa, AZ
Very Pleased
5/4/2012Only had TV for a couple days and very pleased. Still waiting on 3d player and glasses to check out the 3d quality. Hope im just as pleased.
Nice TV

Samsung UN55D7000LFXZA
4/27/2012QWERTY Remote works only when it wants to, most features that are marketed are an upcharge, great picture, easy networking throughout the house. All in all good purchase
4/17/2012This TV is very easy to set up. Manuals are very straight forward and the quality of the image is very sharp even on low resolution. SmartHub is very easy to use as well. Make sure when you turn it on the first time, to actually be very very close to the TV to pair the remote. Excellent product!

Jose from San Antonio Texas
Buy it!
4/5/2012I had a 2004 Sony 60" KDF-60X955 DLP TV. The TV was on last leg about one year ago when I started to see blue color at the lower right hand corner of the screen. I was looking at Samsung UN55-C8000 since last Xmas. I hestitated to buy it back then because of the hefty price tag. When UN55-D7000 first came out, I bought it from Amazon.com. I love the slim 0.5" frame and 1.2" depth of the TV. Next, I was looking at contrast ratio. I saw it somewhere that the TV has 16 MM: 1 contrast ratio. The D8000 has 25MM : 1. The sales guy from bestbuy said that Samsung dropped the contrast ratio specification this year because it is so high that they quoted the ratio as infinity. This is another reason I picked the D7000 over the C - series. I didn't buy the D8000 series because it costs $800 more than D7000 and I don't think I can notice the difference. Another reason I bought this TV is that the D series is internet ready without a dongle while the C - series needs an external dongle. The apps are fairly comprehensive. You definitely need the QWERTY control to type things it. I am still waiting for my QWERTY keyboard to show up. I don't understand why Samsung did not include it in the TV packet. It needs to be ordered separately (for free) via internet or phone with the registration code that comes with the TV.
Samsung UN55D7000 LED TV
4/2/2012After a lot of extensive research and debating between the UN55D7000 and UN55D8000, I ended up buying the 7000. There are very subtle differences between the two but not enough to justify the $200 price difference. The TV looks amazing, the minimal bezel design makes it seem like the image is floating on the air and the unit is very slim and can be wall mounted like a painting. The remote has a qwerty keyboard for convenience while using the smart tv functionality. It comes loaded with apps too.
Amit Misra from New York, NY
Samsung HDTV
3/30/2012I looked at the prices of other online and big box retailers and felt very confortable with my purchase.
Sharp, clean image with some flashlighting
3/30/2012The strength of this model is that it provides an extremely sharp, clean image. The D7000 seems to suppress image noise well, and the image on this TV is sharper than on my plasma. However, the D7000 also has a severe weakness: flashlighting in the corners. You don't notice it in bright images, but you can't ignore it during dark scenes, so I have to turn the backlight down. Off-angle viewing on this TV is also very poor. I don't mind the tradeoffs in order to see such a sharp picture, however.
Amazing TV!
3/20/2012This tv is just simply amazing! Colors are very bright and vibrant. One of the best televisions out right now when calibrated properly. To get the best performance from this television you will have to calibrate it for its full potential. Also the amazing thin bezel on the television really immerses you into whatever you're watching. The only con I have is my tv has a slight light bleed in the bottom right corner of the screen but you never really notice it.
Kyle from Ohio
Samsung UN55D7000 first glance
3/20/2012After lots of research I decided on this tv. It is awesome and feature rich. I won't go over the pros, the list is quite long. The cons are what most folks want to hear about so here it goes: 1) This tv is hard to calibrate for the average joe, I am picky and still cant get it right 2) Motion blurr watching sports, just ordered an HDMi 1.4 cable and will tweak more to improve the picture 3) internet browser does not support silverlight, Java applets or tabs 4) Glossy screen has glare
Steve from Issaquah, WA
Best TV
3/19/2012I like Samsung 7000/8000 series tv its build with all you need apps and lot more
Best TV ever
3/19/2012amazing picture quality, easy to set up. Only downside is the ease of use of the browser although it's better than most
I love my TV.
3/18/2012I highly recommend this TV. Works great with my DIRECTV.
Great TV
3/18/2012One of the best TV produced in 2011. I've compared Samsung with other major brand names side to side, and I gotta say that Samsung is by far the best in terms of picture quality.
Phil from NYC
Great TV
3/17/2012I had a friend recommend this tv to me and bought it solely on his advice. After turning it on for the first time the picture looked horrible and blown out and showed flashlighting in the corners. However, after proper calibration and a little break in the tv looks excellent. I was hesitant to buy a led lcd after owning a plasma because I thought I would be sacrificing picture quality for size/weight, but this tv outshines my old plasma in every way. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Nice buy
3/16/2012Good TV.
Sunil from Chicago, IL
good picture clarity
3/15/2012The picture will knock your socks off. Set up the TV with the Samsung BD 5500 player. The two units communicated and worked perfect. Please read all of the directions before connecting, and everything will work great. The 3D is amazing, not all 3D movies are the same, some have much better affects.

Good TV, but 3D glasses should come with it
3/12/2012Really great TV! Looks great, though I see some corner glow/bleed or whatever it's called when it's a black screen some times, but it's not noticeable when you are viewing anything on it. Wish it came with at least one pair of 3D glasses.

awesome tv
3/9/2012Love the picture and the design. Shipping took 3 business days.
Freddy from Nashville, TN
3/7/2012This is the greatest thing since caned beer ! Easy to set up with very good directions. The picture will knock your socks off. Set up the TV with the Samsung BD 5500 player. The two units communicated and worked perfect. Please read all of the directions before connecting, and everything will work great. The 3D is amazing, not all 3D movies are the same, some have much better affects. The smart hub is great it works well with the remote. Make sure that you sink the remote per the directions. Most of the apps are pretty lame, Use the TV for watching movies and sports, that is what it was made for ! Have Fun !
Pauls TV!!!
3/7/2012Excellent price on a Samsung TV from Pauls. Terrific delivery and item was flawless. Very impressed at total process. 5 star rating
Scott from DePere, WI
2/5/2012Great TV for your home entertaiment. Samsung is the best manufacturer out there and well worth the money. Watched TRON in 3d on this TV and it is amazing at the clarity, both in 2d and 3d.
Very glad with my purchase
5/17/2011So after searching for a new hdtv and buying and returning a mitsu dlp, I spent a week or two trying to find this tv for a good price. Everywhere I went it was to high, instore and online. I saw it on here for a few hundred lower than amazon or any other place had listed, although this didnt come with the shrek starter kit but i wasnt interested. anyway, the tv is great, the design got me hooked and the picture quality is great. I was skeptical buying from this site as I hadn't used it before but upon researching it online it made me feel more at ease. Shipping was pretty fast, and the tv looked flawless. There have been a few minor viewing issues, although i dont know if its from the tv, or the content that was played, otherwise this tv is awesome.
Beautiful but STB Incompatible tv
4/20/2011Beautiful physical design. Vibrant delivery of hd content. Mediocre delivery of non hd. Smart tv is dumber than google tv. Supplied qwerty remote is useless as it cannot control any non Samsung gadget, including STBs (in my case Motorola QIP-7100) forcing you to tote 2 remotes Not recommend for the amount spent.

Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul
3 Share TweetThanks to Lomography and Seoul Tourism Organization I spent six days in Seoul with my friend kelmort. Gyeongbokgung Palace was the first place we went sightseeing. We spent almost 4 hours visiting the whole palace complex.
When you arrive, you can see the guardians of the palace at Main Gate called Gwanghwamun. I made my first lomokino movie when they moved changing their position.
When you go into the complex you have to cross several gates. There are different buildings inside. Mainly constructed of wood, these palaces are so different from historic buildings in Spain made of neutral stone. I was astonished at colorful ceilings and walls.
In winter most of trees are naked and artificial lakes that surround some buildings are frozen. I would like to visit these place in another season, colours in trees and water must be amazing.
We also visit the National Folk Museum of Korea that is in the grounds of the palace. I loved the stairs decorated with giant dragons.
It was a very cold morning but, fortunately we could a enjoy a hot chocolate in the museum´s coffee bar.

I Speak Computer
Youth Radio's Saleeha Bey revels in learning a new language -- computer programming.
By Saleeha Bey
When most people turn on their computer they go straight for Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. They see pictures, words and buttons -- but I see the source code behind the screen.
I first started learning the language of computers through an after school program called the Technovation Challenge. Two other girls and I worked to code and design a mobile app that lets users upload pictures of their wardrobe to help them coordinate outfits, like Cher's closet from Clueless, but better. From the color of people's shoes to the style of their hats, even accounting for rain or shine, our app would give users the most fashionable ensemble each day. In programmer-speak: we optimized the outcome from existing variables.
Working after school with two computer science majors from Cal, we learned a lot about programming but we also learned about perseverance. Turns out some of our simplest ideas required pretty complex code and took days. At times our idea didn't seem worth the energy it was taking to code. We became frustrated with each other, ourselves, and the whole concept of computer programming. But after just three weeks, the lines of jumbled letters and punctuations turned into coherent sentences I understood. And then the process of deciphering code became fun.
Before we knew it, it was show time. We put the final touches on our prototype and presented our app, "Fashion Guru," to a board of judges at the Technovation Challenge. It felt like sending your child off to school for the first time. It was terrifying, but we won first place in the region.
Learning the language of computers opened up a whole new world for me. Now when I launch an app on my phone I think how I could make it better, and when I start up my computer all I can think of are the unlimited possibilities.
With a Perspective, I'm Saleeha Bey.
Saleeha Bey is 17 years old and lives in Oakland. Her Perspective was produced by Youth Radio.

Sugar cookies for valentine's day with home made sprinkles
Valentine's its just around the corner and baking at my house is just on full swing.
In a couple of days I will post some healthier valentine's ideas from where to choose from. Some are easier than others but all of them are really good :-)
I have wanted to make a couple more recipes for the occasion but I have not had time to do so, which I am bump about it…..maybe next year.
For this recipe I used my old sugar cookie recipe and also my old frosting recipe. They both worked really good. I also use the recipe for the sugar sprinkles made a while back, since I don't buy them because most of them have trans fats, NOT GOOD!
The sugar sprinkles are really easy to make. The trick is just to get the right consistency when piping it. It is really fun to do, especially with the kids, and making them different colors its just great. I hope you try making your own on day.
Anyhow, I won't elaborate any further. I hope you have a wonderful valentine's day and until my next entry
Here you can go here for the home made sprinkles recipe. They are just awesome. The right picture are the cookies right after taking them out of the oven and right before frosting. I actually did not frost all of them!!
I made different shapes but you can go ahead and do what ever you prefer.
Sugar cookies for valentine's day with home made sprinkles
Miryam's original recipe
Yield: 16-18 cookies
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, next time I will try to add some shredded coconut to the mix
1 stick of butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup unrefined sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons butter
4 oz reduced fat cream cheese
Natural food coloring
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, I use less sometimes
Beat butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in egg, oil and vanilla. Add flours, and baking powder and combine until you have a homogenous dough formed.
Divide dough into two and flatten out with a rolling pin like in the pictures. Chill dough for at least 2 hours. I did over night.
Preheat oven to 350F and line a two baking cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick and stamp out rounds using a cookie cutter (I roll out the dough in between plastic wrap which I find very easy to do. You can use any other cookie cutter shape you like as well).
Bake cookies for 13-15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting mix all of the ingredients until smooth and use a spatula to spread over each cookie. Sprinkle some of the sprinkles if using. For the home made sprinkle recipe you can go here
Tip: Dough can be chilled for up to 5 days or frozen wrapped in a double layer of plastic wrap for up to 1 month. If frozen, thaw dough in the fridge before using.

It's pretty neat how your sprinkles match your icing. Exactly. You can't do that with store bought sprinkles!
These look so good and I know they are because I made them before and I also used cream cheese frosting and we devoured them!
I also wanted to make more Valentine's recipes but oh well. We can be ahead for next year. :)
Love that you made your own sprinkles!! I totally want to try that :D And I really want to make your whole wheat sugar cookies. My hubby is a huge sugar cookie fan(and I'm not usually so much of one, but I do enjoy them once in a while) I wonder if he'd like them. It's so hard to tell when he's going to choose to be picky, haha.
thanks for the kind comments. I am glad you like the cookies :-)
your hubby will like these cookies. I think they taste like the real thing but even better. Let me know if you get to try them.
I love your ideas! I have a question for you. How can I make red, blue and yellow natural frosting color, instead of using food coloring?
Thank you

This is the best trip I ever didn't take! See you soon - Mom
Vacationing in Vang Vien
Trip Start
Feb 01, 2006
Trip End
May 04, 2006
So the big thing to do in Vientiane is tubing. Which pretty much consists of hiring an inner tube for an afternoon, throwing it in the river, and floating away for the next 4-5 hours stopping every 20 minutes or so at a different bar for a beer and to do their rope swing (they have more differrent types of rope swings here than I ever knew existed), they have non-alcoholic drinks as well, but the number of people floating along with pepsis were few and far between. All of this is done in front of a back drop of high lime stone cliffs and jungle terrain, and was a pretty awesome way to spend the day (or two in my case).
in between tubing days I went rock climbing again. While this wasn't as challenging as the first time i went, without Porn (my instructor) kicking my ass, i'd say overall it was more laid back and fun. We did five different routes which ranged from a 5a to 6a difficulty, two of which were actaully inside of a cave, which was a little bit more difficult because the rocks were a lot more smooth and tougher to get a grip on. on the last climb in the cave we climbed up maybe 40 feet and then had to shimmy up a stalagmite ('tite'? whichever one hangs from the top), an additional fifteen feet. It was a fun, very active three days, so today I am just chilling out catching up on a few things (most importantly sleep). Tomorrow I am going to head back down to Vientiane, hopefully via kayak, so that should interesting. i think i have done more outdoorsy activities in the last week than I have done in the last year at home, it makes me think that I should take more advantage of the activities that are available at home for sure.

Bloc Party
Transitioning from overhyped buzz generator to perpetual powerhouse ain't easy, even for figures as charismatic as the Party men, and on their third long-player, the strain shows. "Ares" is the sound of a band trying too hard, albeit with assists from some pretty interesting elements: screaming sirens, kinetic beats, and the lyrical declaration "Get out of the way or get fucked up." But for every distinctive track along the lines of the calm, confident "Signs," there's one that's structurally dunderheaded ("One Month Off") or unexpectedly generic ("Halo"). The mutability of lead singer Kele Okereke's vocals adds to the project's scattershot feel: On the jittery "Mercury" and the more ethereal (and more satisfying) "Ion Square," he sounds like different people. The results are more akin to inconsistency than Intimacy.

From prison yard to holy ground
Archaeological excavations at a prison near Megiddo, Israel, have uncovered remains of what may have been one of the region's oldest Christian churches. The mosaic floor of the 6-meter-by-9-m structure, uncovered in the past 2 weeks, bears Greek inscriptions and a medallion decorated with drawings of fish, an ancient Christian symbol.
The style of letters, the wording of the inscriptions, and other features date the floor to the 3rd or 4th century A.D., says Yotam Tepper of the Israel Antiquities Authority in Jerusalem. "It's an extraordinary find if it's third century," says religion scholar Eric M. Meyers of Duke University in Durham, N.C. However, he adds that it's extremely unlikely that a major Christian church existed in the area before Roman Emperor Constantine legalized the fledgling religion in A.D. 313.

Driftwood Dresser
A chalky cream paint, worn down in areas and rubbed into the wood in others, feels fresh, but not new.

my childhood furniture set is in that style, it's natural wood with an heavy coat of varnish.
What you did to this one is really great! makes me want to do it for my set (as I still use it...) Maybe they'll feel more grown up ?

Following Texas redistricting, Edwards was moved from the 11th to the 17th congressional district. He then won a close race in 2004 against Republican Arlene Wohlgemuth, winning by less than 10,000 votes. Edwards is the only Democrat who survived in office after Texas' 2004 congressional redistricting. He is currently running against former U.S. Marine and Republican congressional candidate Van Taylor.

The Council Chamber
Since Vienna is not only Austria's federal capital but also a federal province in its own right, it is in this hall that the members of the City Council and Diet convene. This assembly is composed of 100 members and elected for a term of five years. The most striking feature of this 14-metre-high room is a huge chandelier in the historicist style, with a diameter of five metres and 213 lights. It was cast in one piece, weighs 3,200 kilogrammes and can be entered by maintenance personnel to change the lamps. The coffered ceiling of high-grade larch and spruce wood is decorated with 22-carat gold-leaf rosettes. Directly below the ceiling, a series of frescoes depicts events from the history of Austria and Vienna. The section situated on the right hand of the central visitors' gallery shows scenes from the 13th to 16th centuries; we see Duke Rudolf IV laying the foundation-stone for the southern spire of Saint Stephen's Cathedral and the establishment of Vienna University, the world's oldest university where students are taught in the German language. The left-hand side takes us into the 17th to 19th centuries. Empress Maria Theresa is surrounded by famous exponents of the politics, arts and sciences of her era (including Emperor Joseph II, Mozart, van Swieten and Haydn). Most of the pointed-arch windows with stained lead glazing facing the gallery were reconstructed after the Second World War on the basis of the original plans. The back wall of the central visitors' gallery depicts the tasks of Vienna's municipal administration in allegorical form.The huge chandelier was moved one single time in its history. The heat from its lamps transformed the Council Chamber into an impromptu sauna. So it was decided in the 1960s to pull up the chandelier by one metre.

Title: | Surface Decompression Diving: Data Report on Protocol 90-02. |
Author: | Hamilton Jr, RW; Thalmann, ED; Temple, DJ |
Abstract: | The purpose of this report is to provide access to experimental laboratory data involving human decompression exposures that have not been published and thus are not presently available for analysis by Navy and other researchers. As such, this is only a report of the data, not a write-up of the experiment or analysis. This project was designed to evaluate surface decompression requirements for a variety of dive profiles. |
